Under a rogue regime, with a President who used war to legitimize his 'elected' position, the reinvigorated CIA reverted back to its cold war roots...oops, I mean became much more overt.

Silencing journalists, nasty poking things, is as classic as setting up suicides to cover any secret service 'leaks'.

Epstein's 'suicide' being a more blatant example. Like Annie Borjesson, he too had to die. She knew too much.
